One computer multiple GARMIN devices

Looking for some advice, I currently have an edge 1000 I use solely for cycling and upload rides via wifi automatically

I would like to use an old edge 705 for other cycling and or running and want to keep activities separate from above

I guess I could create another garmin account for the other activities, however there may be times when I want to connect the edge 1000 for map updates, but the first thing it will do when connected via usb is to do a sync to whatever account is setup in GE

Can you point each device to a separate garmin account within GE or is this thinking too far outside the box

How is it best to keep two separate devices and identities on a single PC

Creating 2 user accounts on the PC would do it. There may be other more elegant options.

When you add your devices to Garmin Express, it will prompt you to add your Garmin Connect account. You can add each device to a different account without needing to create a separate user account on the PC. The only thing to remember is to either close your browser or log out of Garmin Connect before trying to access the other account using the Garmin Connect button in Express.

Thanks I will try that creating 2 Windows user accounts, I just don't want to connect device 2 and screw up over my cycling stuff, as it is not specifically a running device

I will also create 2 garmin accounts/profiles

Where is Sussex are you based

Jason, thanks for the update, I only use garmin connect on mobile devices, which will be logged in with the edge1000 account and will possibly only view device 2 via web browser on the PC

I will try your suggestion and report back

Thanks that worked fine, only slight glitch was when clicking on garmin connect button, edge 1000 took me to GE Classic and edge 705 took me to modern with no logging in required, only when I switched from classic to modern for the edge1000 did I have to login again, after that it seemed to behave itself

Yup this works - I upload to three GC accounts, depending on the device, through one instance of GE in a single Windows account.

9+ devices on 3 different Garmin connect accounts all added to Garmin express on my PC. works like a charm.
